Required Rulemaking on Personal Financial Data Rights
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is issuing a final rule to carry out the personal financial data rights established by the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 (CFPA). The final rule requires banks, credit unions, and other financial service providers to make consumers’ data available upon request to consumers and authorized third parties in a secure and reliable manner; defines obligations for third parties accessing consumers’ data, including important privacy protections; and promotes fair, open, and inclusive industry standards.
